In pursuit of Happiness....

The movie is an almost true depiction of the life of Christopher Gardner with certain liberties being taken about his life with his girlfriend. It delivers the essence of what has been Christopher's life without depressing you with any sad moments . His being a father and struggling without a shelter over his head should inspire millions if not the world. Its not an easy job spending time in public toilets and raising a son to face this world. Simple words like "your a great papa", "Protect your dreams-don't let anyone tell you that you cant fulfill them" are a great connotation in today's world too.

Thomas Jefferson's words "In pursuit of happiness" as a part of the Declaration of Independence ring a bell. Happiness isn't a permanent state of mind. Its a constant struggle of mankind to go after what it aspires. You can be happy with a lot of life's simple pleasures- and you can be unhappy with all of its luxuries. The true essence of happiness can perhaps only be captured when the mind is open to accepting whatever life offers. That doesn't mean one cant/shouldn't dream. But accepting the hardships while you work towards the attainment of that dream is the real pursuit of happiness!

"All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you!"-Its really that SIMPLE!
